Just because someone lvl's ahead of you, doesn't mean they're going to push through. Anything can happen...they could run into a bad spree of pulling too much, getting off track on their quests or even bad RNG on gathering quests. One of the ones I'm hoping I don't run into is the Baiting the Trap one in Dread Wastes...gods that was painful. So keep pushing until you actually see the server message; don't get caught up always checking to see where other people are cause then you're likely to make a mistake or put unnecessary stress on yourself.

But yea, I know what you mean about the CD usage. I made all these pots and other consumables....need to be using them.

Yeah. I started out using Ghost Wolves when I had a named special mob to kill, or when I'd overpulled. Now I use it when it's off cooldown and I'm on a kill quest. Took me until today to realise I hadn't used Ascendance at all since they fixed the bug where Ghost Wolf triggered it - it made the burlap trail escorts way easier, being able to hit all the ranged Hozen attacking the caravan.

Scenarios can only be done at level cap (so no exp) and reward *one* piece of gear.

Not really the best way to farm gear, mostly just a quick way to get VPs.

Is it a personal chance of getting one piece of gear (i.e. LFR loot system)? If the odds are just like in Theramore, I'll pass[1]. six alts - six bags of fireworks, no gear. It didn't even seem that quick, compared to the HoTs.

[1]I think Blizzard said the drop chance was about 15% from a LFR boss.

I believe its 100% chance to get a heroic level blue but you can call me lier on that.

I've done ok in the Theramore scenario, run it 4 times got 3 pieces of gear one was a spirit head for my mage, but even so not too bad.In a full group of 3 it's fairly quick (was very quick before they buffed the mob hp), I'll do them all once after that will have to see if it's worth it.

Defeated Sha of Hatred at only 66% of level 88, the quest person there obviously has a Dread Wastes quest I can't accept yet. There are other hubs, though, they just don't have breadcrumbs off the main line. One quite close to the last hub in the Sha of Hatred chain. Might actually stil run out of quests, though... Having skipped forward at 86 and 87, I think that might prove to be the wrong move.

Jst popping back to say that Niuzao temple is horrible at level 88. All the mantid mobs are level 90, it's hard to only pull one at a time, and they hit hard. I'm going to try to avoid it on live, but with the way XP has gone... I don't think there are enough quests in Townlong for 88-89 without questing there. Need to spend more time in earlier zones.

Good news on the questing front: With guild bonus, I'm 100% sure you can get from just-dinged 89 to 90 in the Dread Wastes.Townlong is the problem - All the other zones can give you a full level (counting KW and Vot4W as one), with the early zones allowing you extra. I suggest staying in Vot4W/Krasarang until you've got about 1/3rd into 87. Don't skip out of Kun Lai until you've finished the quests, and you should easily ding 89 in Townlong.

Yea...that's what I was planning on was doing almost all of Vot4W and probably half of Krasarang before moving to complete almost all of Kun Lai.

Which places can you pick it up from in Kun Lai? I never saw a place in Townlong that'd be useful to set hearth in, could ding 89 (finish quests), hearth, get KL version of quest, then take the flight...

Right now I'm on my way to grab a parachute so I can skip the balloon ride into Zouchin province in Kun Lai. Small thing, but...

I'm still ahead, but I've fucked this up badly. On the quests in Kun Lai in the tombs, where you talk to Cho via an item that summons him, one quest seemed bugged so I abandoned... and it deleted the item. It's impossible to get it back. A whole chain got locked out. And now I've run out of quests in Townlong.

I'm at 1% less xp than I was on beta wen I ran out.

Edit: Managed the temple quests in Townlong, though it was painful. Still 2 bars short, so picknig up scraps I left behind. Still 95%.
